Speciiiccttion forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,359, dated h iay 30, 1871.

`Be it known that I, HENRY` provements in Reservoir-Stoves, of which the f following is a specification:

. The rst part ot my invention relates to the arrangementan'd combinationof an air-tube with the upper part of a stove-reservoir, by

. l which explosions of gas from the reservoir and fire-pot may be prevented. The second ,y part of my invention relates to the construction and arrangement of a check-plate near Vthe top of and atthe bach part of the reservoir, so as to` prevent `the heat arisingfrom the ignited fuel in the fire-pot of the stove y from PaSSiIlgoff too rapidly.-

In theV accompanying drawing, Figure lis a perspective viewof, a stove embodying my improvements. Fig. 2. is a central vertical section of the same taken on the plane 'of a' line running from the front to the back of the stove. Fig. 3 is a horizontal view of the in- "side of the top ot' the stove taken on the plane of line w min Fig. 2. Fig.,4 is a horizontal view of the upper part of the ire-pot as seen onthe plane of line w' w in Fig. 2.

` Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectionthrough thevbase of the stove at the line m m in Fig. 2. Fig. 6

is 'a view of the grate-rest or support and the hookedcenter pivot of grate, showing the grate in two positions, viz, when at rest in a l horizontal position, andwhen dumped or in a vertioal'position. w In Fig. l the lower part of l the stove is represented as broken away to show the interior of thebase of the stove.

A is the base of the stove. B is the ash-` pit; C is the grate; D is` the fire-pot; E is the illuminated sectionyF is the reservoir;

G is the upper section; `and H is the top of the stove. I is a pipe, of about one inch in diameter, connected at its top with the upper part of reservoir F, and at its lower end with the lower part of the upper section G of the stove, (or it may be carried down to the base of the stove, if desired.) `Said pipe gives a free communication at all times with the air of the room and the upperpart and under side of the reservoir. l

I have found, by frequent experiments,

` that byadmitting air into the top or `upper part of the reservoir byjmeans of a tube, I, above described, no explosion R. REMSEN, of` w Newtonville, in the county of Albany' and State of New York, have invented certain Imwill take place from the reservoir nor from the combustion-chamber of the stove.

I am aware that several methods have been v devised to convey air into the reservoir oi' a stove'for the purpose of consuming the gases formed `there during the combustion of the fuel in stoves of this description. I find that by conveying -air through a pipe, I, said pipe I passing through a constantly-heated cham ber', L, just abovethe combustion-chamber of the stove, the air within pipe I will always be heated, and there will be a constant current of air entering the reservoir at its top,

.and said current of air I have always found to be sufficientlypowcrful to prevent any explosions taking place, either from the reservoir F or-the combustion-cl1amber below the reservoir, as above stated.

under part of the top of the stove. On opposite sides of a dia-meter running from side to side of said plate K are two semicircular apertures, l and 2, the diameter of the front aperturel being nearly equal to that of the upper part or body of the stove, and the diameter of the back aperture 2 being equal to that of the upper lpart of the `reservoir F,"

so as to lit closely to the reservoir when both are in place on the stove, as shown in Figs. l,

2, and.

It will be seen from the above that I prevent explosions in reservoir-stoves by means ot' air passing through pipe I, becoming heated therein, thus causing a continual current of air to enter the reservoir at or near its top,

' as above described. Also, that by means of extending the lower plate K of the top of the `stove to the reservoir F, the ascending heat is retained longer within the upper section of the stove, thus giving out more heat in the room.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination and arrangement of airpipe I with reservoir F and heated chamber L of a stove, in the manner and for the pur-v pose herein shown.

2. Plate K,'with its semicircular openings 1 and 2, incombination with reservoir F, as

herein shown, and for the purpose set forth. Witnesses: HENRY R. REMSEN..
